Unable to add new event in iCal on iphone 4s

iCal does not have the plus sign button to add a new event when I open it up. Siri cannot create a new event either. What to do?

Solved! Needed to check "Show All Day Events" in the View menu!

  • Unable to add new event in iCal, Lion 10.7.1

    Hi,
    On Lion 10.7.1, I can't seem to add new events to iCal.
    I have tried the following:
    1. 2-finger click on a day in the month-view. This pops out the menu and I can click on 'New Event', but after that, nothing happens.
    2. Clicking on the '+' button at the top. This pops out the 'Create Quick Event' window. After typing in a new event and hitting return, nothing happens.
    I can create a new event in the 'Day' and 'Week' view though.
    iCal was working fine for me last week, but it seems to be broken since yesterday. I'm not sure if it stopped working after the 10.7.1 update.
    Thanks for any guidance or assistance!

  • Unable to add new event in iCal

    OK, this may be a total newbie question, as this is only my 2nd day with a Mac, but I can't add an event in iCal.
    My calendar is a Google Calendar, and I have successfully set this up in iCal (I can see all my events). However, I can't find a way to add an event! The File > New Event is greyed out, and the keyboard shortcut doesn't work either.
    I'm guessing it's got something to do with how I've set things up, but I have no idea where to go from here.

I can add event from iCloud and from my iCal on my iMac. Please help

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • Unable to create new events in iCal

    I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS7, and now when I try to create a new event in iCal, nothing happens. I am able to tap the "+" and enter the event information, but when I tap "Done", no new event appears in the calendar.
    If I, instead, create the event in the Calendar on my PC, the phone syncs with Outlook, and the event appears on the phone's iCal app.
    Why am I suddenly unable to create new events on my phone in iOS7, and how can I fix this issue?

    Thanks! I've noticed the phone has been a bit "clunky" since the update too. Did you experience the same thing & did the hard restart help?

  • Can´t add new events to iCal :(

    Hey there,
    i´ve got a problem with my iCal. The little calendar on the left corner is stuck to January 2001 and i can´t add a new event. The other thing is that i can´t close the programm normally. I really hope you cann help me because i am not really sure what to do. I allready try to delete the cache and tried to use it with a different user account but nothing is working so far.
    So i really hope for help

    Charly,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Often iCal display problems can be corrected by refreshing the the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.

  • The plus sign button to add new events in iCal on my iPhone is missing.

    On the top, to the right of "All Calendars" there is a plus sign that is used to add events.  On my 4GS I have that and a "Calendars" button.  On my husband's 3GS, those buttons are missing, making it impossible to add events to his calendar.  Both phones have been upgraded to iOS5.
    In Settings under Calendars the phones have the following choices:
    New Invitation Alerts - Both phones - both set 'on'
    Sync - only on his phone - set to 'All Events'
    Time Zone Support - Both phones
    Default Alert Times - Both Phones
    Default Calendar - my phone only - set on Calendar (as opposed to Home, Work or Untitled)
    Can anyone tell me how to fix this so he can add events to his calendar?
    Thanks.

    Go to Settings>iCloud>Calendar>On. Toggle it on and off. Leave it on if you want to sync with iCloud but then don't sync with your computer or you may get duplicate entries.

  • Opened ical and all my events were erased and all my calendar accounts were gone and it will not allow me to add new events or new accounts

    I opened my ical and all my events had been erased and all my claendar accounts were gone and it will not allow me to add new events or accounts.

    Hi John,
    Thanks so much for wading in. I did exactly what you suggested - glad you gave me the hint about how to access my library files. There was only one document that seemed to have anything to do with cache, and that was called Calendar Cache. (I've attached a screen capture of all the files incase I should have deleted something else as well.) I deleted Calendar Cache then restarted iCal, but after updating I was still unable to add new events.
    Is there anything else you can suggest?
    Thanks again,
    Susan

  • When I try to add a new event to iCal a dialog says "you can't add or change events in the Birthday Calendar". How do I cancel this?

    When I try to add a New Event to iCal a dialog box keeps saying "you can't add or change events in the Birthday Calendar". iCal is, however, receiving up-dates from my other devoces via iCloud. Can anyone help unblock this for me please?

    You can not add events to the birthday's calendar. To add birthday's to the birthday calendar you need to add the birthday to a contact in the Contacts app.
    You can set your default calendar here:
    iCal > Preferences > General  > Default Calendar and chose the calendar you want to default to.

  • ICal - Cannot add new events

    Having an issue where iCal is not allowing us to add new events. It will allow you to add events on the iPhone, and when you sync, it adds those events, but it will not allow events to be added from the iCal application on the Mac itself. The user is using Mobile Me, which I am not familiar with. Could there be a setting that disallows new events to be added in iCal on the Mac, and only accepts events from the iPhone?
    Thanks!

    I am STILL having this problem and I tried your test admin approach, but it still hasn't fixed MY account. I can log in on my husband's account, or a test admin user account, and I can add events to iCal. When I switch back to my own account (the main account on the computer that is used all the time) -- no go - it still won't let me add events.
    Anyone have a guess as to why the problem would be affecting one account only, but not the others?

  • Ical missing the   can't add new events! Help?

    The plus sign is missing from my ical on my iPad, how do i get it back to add new events?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • How do you  add new even to iCal? (and my spell check)

    ok i am ********
    in my last post i spelled mail as male....
    Here is my question .. each time i try to add a new event to iCal i get a pop up window that says "You can not add events to MAIL calendar. "
    I searched the helps menu and i did exactly what it says but each time i try to add an even i get the same pop up. And also on the pull down the add even is shaded out.

    Dean,
    Here is what iCal Help says about being unable to change an event or calendar.
    If you can’t change an event or calendar, check the following:
    If it’s a calendar to which you’ve subscribed, you can change the calendar name but you can’t change its events or to-do items.
    If you were invited to an event, you can change only your status for the event, the calendar where the event appears, and the event alarm.
    You can’t change or delete events on the Birthdays calendar. (To show the Birthdays calendar, select “Show Birthdays calendar” in iCal preferences.) To change the birthdays that appear, open Address Book (in your Applications folder) and make your changes there. For more information, in Address Book choose Help > Address Book Help.
    If you can’t change a single event’s time zone or the iCal time zone, time zone support may be turned off. Choose iCal > Preferences, click Advanced, and then make sure the “Turn on time zone support” checkbox is selected.
    If you want to change events on a calendar that you published on the Internet, but you’ve deleted the calendar from your Calendars list, you need to re-create the calendar with all its events, give it the same name as the published calendar, and then publish the new calendar. The new calendar will replace the previously published one.
    If you can’t change an event for which you are the organizer, or you can’t change the attendee settings for an event you’ve been invited to, make sure all your email addresses are listed on your Address Book card (the card marked “me”).
    1. Do any of those recommendations help you further define your problem.
    2. Is there any reason you have not yet upgraded to OS X 10.5.3?

  • Creating new event in iCal from BBEdit data window.  Calendar number fails.

    When I try to create a new event in iCal I am getting the error "The variable theCalendarNumber is not defined." even though theCalendarNumber is supposed to be set in the preceding line. Does this have anything to do with embedding the tell application "iCal" within the tell application "BBEdit 6.5" loop?
    Before this error I was getting a NSContainerSpecifierError error. I think that was because I was trying to specify the calendar as a string instead of a number as required by Panther OS.

    set theEvent to make new event at end of events of theCalendarNumber with properties {start date:the_Date, summary:"", description:the_Event}
    --if alarmTime is not 0 then
    --tell MyEvent
    --make new display alarm at end of display alarms with properties {trigger interval:alarmTime}
    --end tell
    --end if
    --show theEvent

    end tell
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to old_delims
    end repeat
    end tell
    tell application "iCal"
    reload calendars
    end tell

    You have a couple of issues here.
    First, the line:
    set theCalendarNumber to (first calendar whose title is theChoice)
    However, theChoice is defined at:
    set theChoice to (choose from list iCalendars with prompt "Choose the Calendar to use" OK button name "Choose" without multiple selections allowed and empty selection allowed)
    Since you're allowing multiple selections, theChoice will be a list.
    You can't get 'first calendar whose title is' a list. You will need to either permit single selections only, or extract the calendar name from the selected items (maybe iterating through them if you want to add the event to multiple calendars).
    Once you address that, the line:
    set theEvent to make new event at end of events of theCalendarNumber...
    also won't work because theCalendarNumber will be the name of a calendar, so this command tries to set the event to the end of events of a string. Instead you need to ask for the named calendar, like:
    set theEvent to make new event at end of events of calendar theCalendarNumber
    Then you should be set.

  • Any way to quickly add new event without opening or switching apps?

    Does anyone know of a way (or software hack) to allow me to quickly add a new event without having to either open iCal or make it the active application? Even something as simple as "add new event" to the right-click of the dockbar icon (ala "Compose new message" with Mail) would be a help. There's just so many times I want to quickly add something, but don't need to be bothered with the application taking up my screen, etc.
    Thanks.

  • Ipad unable to add new contacts

    updated my ipad to ios5. now, i see that i am unable to add new contacts on my ipad. there is no plus button

    Hi I found this elseware and it does correct the problem
    It all has to do with stupid iCloud.  If you go to Settings - iCloud - Turn on Contacts and Calendars you will be able to add contacts and calendar events.  Its so Apple gets to know everything about you, there goes all our privacy.  Thanks apple....... with your new update...now you can sell our data to make you even richer
